Description
1. In this case we are asked to determine whether the initial reexamination required by Wis. Stat. § 980.07 (1997-98)1 for Wis. Stat. ch. 980 committed patients is mandatory or directory and to determine the appropriate remedy if the six-month time limit is violated.2 William E. Marberry contends that both the hearing and stated time limit are mandatory and appeals from a circuit court order denying his habeas corpus petition. The State responds that the six-month time limit is directory or, in the alternative, that if the time limit is mandatory, the remedy is not release or discharge from the ch. 980 commitment. We hold that the § 980.07 six-month time limit for an initial reexamination is mandatory and that Marberry is entitled to release or discharge from his ch. 980 commitment. We therefore reverse the circuit court order and remand this matter for proceedings consistent with this opinion. BACKGROUND
